My buddy JD Fagan gave me a call friday n told me he had a whole AJ n a whole cuda and wanted 2 fish a beach around here so we hit the beach hard.We get there right b4 dark cut the baits in half and took out 4 rods .Before I finished yaking out the baits my 14/0 was cut off.A little later JD hooks up, brings In a nice blacktip then he runs 2 the store as soon as he gets back my 16/0 starts ROLLING out steady,i hit the running man n feel the powerful weight but thats it i sit down wondering what is this then the battle starts after 10mins of getting dumped i call Will n tell him im hooked up 2 a beast let him hear the reel getting spooled and he was on his way.After an hour of getting dumped i was at less than a quarter spool he starts coming in Will shows up thinking i lost him or was bringing in my bait i get more than half a spool back n the beast starts taking line again oh oh here we go again. After a couple of mins he swam in again all the way 2 the beach almost will n jd run down tail rope it n it was over.A hammer 11'5 my biggest shark ever it was a good trip 2 say the least n thanks Will driving all the way from miami 2 lend a helping hand.PICS AND VIDEO TODAY Jimmy starts to regain line on his almost empty 16/0 .Time for new drag washers Proud shark fishermen Jimmy ,Gio and Jd Fagan with Jimmy's 11 ft 5 inch hammer that had a deformed dorsal fin
